Tenor Senior - Poorman Living 7'' [1988 Royal Star Original Pressing]
Nice deejay cut on small independent label. Records first half is a likkle beat up, but still plays ok. I've noticed that you see a lot of digital recordings from '87 and '89, but not too many from 1988. My guess would be that would be due to it being an election year, which caused violent instability every 4 years on the island. While I the '76 and '80 elections were known to be the bloodiest, I'm assuming by '88 the streets were still hot! Any other insight?

ReplyDeleteGilbert definitely would have affected the music industry in '88, even though it struck towards the end of the year, in September. Lots of Gilbert tunes came out in early '89 for sure! Between the Hurricane and the coming election (which was in '89 actually... my bad) it explains why productivity was low then.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeremy!
